    Dolly84 I googled the Bobbi and Katie palette. It’s the same age as the two palettes I am panning. Whilst I think the NARS blushers are performing as well as they ever did, the Smashbox shimmers need to be topped up as they don’t look shimmery at all on my eyes now.


    I never found the Bobbi & Katie that good, the glittery shades are too chunky, the shimmer shades chalky and the mattes take a lot of effort and the blushes just look dirty in the palette as there is nothing to cover them. I hate getting rid of these things but the damage was done years back.

    Superdrug Naturally Radiant Day Cream 50ml - WNBA, this broke me out so I gave it to DH to finish. It is just a basic moisturiser and doesn't really do anything for radiance, but what really does?

    2 UU:-


    Sample of L'Occitane Divine serum and sample of L'Occitane Divine face cream. I still have some of a sample of eye balm. These were pleasant enough but not enough to spend the money on them that L'Occitane charge. They never have any decent discounts either to look out for.


    TA : No7 Red lip crayon. These things dry my lips out. It's gone.

    Lancome La Vie Est Belle EDP 30ml - lovely, lasts a really long time. I get compliments when wearing this which is always nice. WMBA but I have about 40 other perfumes to work through first.

    My updated PP list.

    [STRIKE]Lancome La Vie Est Belle Body Lotion 50ml (b/f from Feb)
    Lancome La Vie Est Belle EDP 30ml (b/f from Feb)
    Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada Body Butter 200ml
    Body Shop Vanilla Brulee Shower Gel 250ml
    Superdrug Brightening Night Cream 50ml
    MUR Foundation Stick[/STRIKE]
    Revlon Colourstay Foundation
    [STRIKE]Nicky Clarke Instant Calmer 50ml
    Garnier 7 Day Body Lotion Aloe 400ml[/STRIKE]


    The foundation will be carried over to April, I don't like using it and have opened a Rimmel Match Perfection one to use on days when I need my makeup to look better than it does when using the Revlon one which just seems to slide about.

    UU Lush Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar
    WMBA, I don't know if it's just me but I noticed with the bubble bars I got this xmas that they seem to have something exfoliating in which I wonder is a filler ingrediant/just that they went off quickly? They just seemed really hard.

    All my Lush xmas stuff is gone now, feel like I did alright making it last, it definitely cheered me up during the gloomier months.

    2 UUs

    Sample of L’Occitane Divine Eye Balm. Too thick. WNB.

    Shay and Blue Atropos Belladonna small spray (bigger than a sample). Nice enough. WNB. Had a powdery smell. Have been watching Jeremy Fragrance recently on YouTube. Would not have thought of a fragrance as powdery before watching him.

  • I tossed out the charcoal mask. I had 3 remaining but the mask seemed to cause small tears to the skin and caused irritation. Sometimes it is just not worth keeping something that causes pain or discomfort.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    One UU this morning:

    Paula’s Choice Clear Oil Free Moisturiser 15ml WPNBA. This was nice and light but I'm a bit wary of Paula's Choice moisturisers as they tend to seem to break me out even if they don't have certain ingredients that I know break me out. So I used this on my neck to avoid any issues.

    Not long left of this month. Although I do want to make an effort to finish the Nivea Eye Make Up Remover, I can see that I will be rolling the remaining items over although both the tubes of Cremo and Nivea SPF are cut open now.
